We need to get all animal people on board and help us get this thrown out. If boas and pythons are banned what next? I'm a collector of other exotics as well and have had the random visits by the local fish and game. My wildcat hybrids were almost taken from me but now they told me that I can keep the two I own but can't get anymore or sell there babies so I if they breed will gift them to people. I also think they will go after bird owners next cause some parrots live and thrive in all climates. Next thing you know bye macaw and bye bye parrots. I have taken alot of crap over the years for owning everything from retics to tortoises. The fish and game is kinda dumb they wanted to bust me for a leopard tortoise. They come in take notes. As the snakes being a threat I live in a cold climate in idaho. I breed boas the kids help me and all the animals are in locked cages. My kids are young 4,2 and 1 year old. I make sure a baby boa is all that they hold or a tortoise that can't harm them. My wifes dog is more playful and apt to hurting the kids by accident. I trust him less the the snakes, birds, tortoises in my collection. I think we pet keepers need to ban together before the only animal we can own is a poodle
